Ilaiyaraaja & Director Mahendran join hands again after a longtime

Red Pix View      Yooutube View

The irresistible combination of master film-maker Mahendran and Maestro Ilaiyaraaja is back on screen: after more than two decades, Mahendran and Ilaiyaraaja are to work together for a new untitled film.

Mahendran has always gone with Maestro's music in all his films except Saasanam which released eight years back. The duo's films have been Tamil cinema's ever-green classics: Mullum Malarum, Johnny, Uthiripookkal, Pootatha Poottukkal, Nenjathai Killathay, etc. The list is brief but worth its weight in gold.

Mahendran's depiction of superstar Rajinikanth, who was an upcoming star at that time, in films such as Mullum Malarum and Jhonny is still being spoken about by Rajini's fans who consider these two as among the top ten films of Rajini. It would be an understatement to say that Ilaiyaraaja's music propped up Mahendran's films; his music offered soul to his films.

After 8 years, Mahendran is to start directing films again and has signed up Ilaiyaraaja to score the music of the film. When he visited the Prasad Labs recently, Mahendran spoke to Ilaiyaraaja and managed to get his consent to score the music of his upcoming directorial venture which remains untitled as yet.

"The film is likely to go to the floors soon with a song getting recorded first; it's a script based on a short story by Pudhumaipithan. The script has as its backdrop a small town and is about the problems faced by the middle-class in society," Mahendran says. P. Sanjay, son of popular cinematographer P. Loknath, debuts as cinematographer with this film. The cast of the film is yet to be decided.

Following Amma hotel & Amma Water now Amma theatre - soon in Chennai

Red Pix View      Yooutube View

Soon, affordable movie tickets for the entire family could ease the load on your budget. Chennai Corporation, on Wednesday, announced the establishment of Amma Cinema Theatres on vacant land in various parts of the city.

Announcing 132 welfare and development schemes in the Corporation Budget 2014-2015, Mayor Saidai Duraisamy said the tickets would be affordable for the poor and the middle class.

Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has directed officials to devise a strategy to screen new blockbuster feature films in the proposed facilities to be constructed by the civic body, he said.

"Films are among the key entertainment avenues for residents in Chennai. But, most of the cinema theatres operate in commercial neighbourhoods with exorbitant ticket charges. Because of this, the poor and the middle class are unable to have entertainment," said Mr. Duraisamy.

According to official sources, at least five cinema theatres are likely to be constructed in the first phase in the city.

Abirami Ramanathan, President of Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Federation, said that the federation welcomed the move.

"There is a need for theatres that price tickets at Rs. 10 - Rs. 20... but that can happen only if the government subsidises. The move will help kill piracy and bring back audience to the cinema halls," he said.

Sources in the civic body said, "We will not be running the theatres, but will give it to somebody to run them. The Corporation will, however, fix the tariff so that people are not fleeced," he said.

Other schemes include Amma Weekly Markets in 200 wards, Amma Women's Hostel, Amma Kudineer for residents, Amma Corporation Hostels and Amma Computer Training in the city.

A day after the Supreme Court commuted death sentences of three men convicted in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, the Tamil Nadu cabinet on Wednesday decided to release them and other convicts after due consultations with the Centre."The cabinet has taken a decision to release the three convicts, Perarivalan, Murugan and Santhan, along with those four, Nalini, Robert Pyas, Jayakumar and Ravichandran who are undergoing life sentence. The decision will be conveyed to the Centre for appropriate action. If we don't get their response in three days, we will release all convicts in accordance with the rights granted under Indian Constitution," chief minister J Jayalalithaa informed the state assembly.The Congress members walked out of the House protesting against the state government's decision."Releasing the assassins would set a wrong precedence," Congress floor leader N R Rangarajan said. A three-member bench, led by Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam on Tuesday commuted the death sentences of Perarivalan, Murugan and Santhan on the ground of a delay of nearly 11 years in deciding their mercy petitions. The state government has the right to release convicts who have completed 14 years in jail after considering their good conduct.

Release of Rajiv Gandhi Murder Victims - Vaiko is the Real Hero & its a Political Game- Reaction

The Supreme Court on Tuesday commuted the death penalty of Rajiv Gandhi's killers to life term, citing the 11-year delay in deciding their mercy pleas.With this, the three convicts on death row in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case — Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan — have been spared the gallows.A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam rejected the Centre's submission that there was no unreasonable delay in deciding their mercy plea and the condemned prisoners did not go through agonizing experience as they were enjoying life behind the bars.The bench, also comprising justices Ranjan Gogoi and S K Singh, said they are unable to accept the Centre's view and commuted the death sentence of convicts to imprisonment for life subject to remission by the government. There had been inordinate delay on government and President's part to decide their mercy pleas, the SC judges said.The apex court rejected the Centre's contention that delay in deciding mercy plea of convicts Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan did not result in agony."We implore government to render advice in reasonable time to the President for taking a decision on mercy pleas," the court said.The top court has asked the government to add a new criteria for considering commuting death penalty to life imprisonment — inordinate delay in deciding mercy petitions.It said the government should handle the cases of mercy petitions in a more systematic manner."We are confident that mercy plea can be decided at much faster speed than what is being done now," the bench said.The convicts had submitted that mercy plea of other prisoners, which were filed after them, were decided but their petitions were kept pending by the government.Their plea was strongly opposed by the Centre which had said that it was not a fit case for the apex court to commute death sentence on the ground of delay in deciding mercy plea.Admitting that there has been delay in deciding the mercy petitions, the government, however, had contended that the delay was not unreasonable, unexplainable and unconscionable to commute death penalty.The counsel, appearing for the convicts, had contested the Centre's arguments, saying that they have suffered due to the delay by the government in deciding the mercy petitions and the apex court should intervene and commute their death sentence to life term.The apex court had, in May 2012, decided to adjudicate the petitions of Rajiv Gandhi killers against their death penalty and had directed that their plea, pending with the Madras high court, be sent to it.Rajiv Gandhi was killed in May 1991. His assassins were convicted by a TADA court in January 1998 and were awarded death sentence, which was confirmed by the apex court May 11, 1999.

இங்கே பேசிய தம்பிமார்கள் அழகிரி அடுத்த முதல்வராவார் அடுத்த பிரதமராவார் என்றெல்லாம் பேசினார்கள் நான் எப்போதுமே பதவிக்கு ஆசைப்படவில்லை எனக்கு வரும் பதவியை இன்னொரு தம்பிமார்களுக்கு கொடுத்து அழகு பார்ப்பவன் நான். தென் மாவாட்ட அமைப்புச் செயலாளர் பதவியை எனக்கு கொடுத்த கலைஞர். நான் கேட்காமலேயே என்னை எம்.பி ஆக்கினார். மத்திய அமைச்சராக்கினார்.

அந்த பதவி மூலம் நிறைய சாதனைகளைச் செய்துள்ளேன். அந்த பதவிகளை எல்லாம் விட எண்ணற்ற தம்பிமார்களின் இதயத்தில் இருக்கவே விரும்புகிறேன். நான் வியூகம் வகித்திருக்கிறேன் அடுத்த 2 , 3 மாதத்தில் வெளியிடுவேன் என்றெல்லாம் பேசிய தம்பிமார்கள் என்ன வியூகம் வைத்திருக்கிறேன் எனறு அறிய ஆவலாய் கேட்டார்கள் அவர்களுக்கு நான் சொல்லிக்கொள்ள விரும்புவது மூன்று மாதம் காத்திருங்கள் என்பதுதான் என்று கூறினார்.
